HOW TO USE THE BATH 2000

(See Special Notes on hot tub/spa use)

1. Turn on the tub faucet and immerse the BATH 2000 in the water to thoroughly wet the fabric bag. This speeds up the water flow through the media pouch. Adjust your water temperature to 105 to 110 degrees F or even warmer.

2. To accelerate dechlorination you can hang the BATH 2000 on the tub spout by hooking the BATH 2000 cord on the spout. This allows for immediate contact of all the incoming water with the F-73 filament.

3. After filling the tub, swirl the BATH 2000 through the tub for about 2 to 3 minutes. In the time it takes to complete steps #2 and #3, chlorine and chloromines should have been reduced by 90% or more.

4. To achieve 100% chlorine removal take the BATH 2000 out of the tub to avoid any chance of stepping on it and then return the BATH 2000 to the water after you are in the tub. You can swirl the BATH 2000 through the water for another minute or two. You can return the BATH 2000 to the tub if you add more water.

5. After your bath, hang the BATH 2000 on the faucet or a hook to dry.

6. Replace the filament pouch with a fresh pouch after a yearıs usage or about 300 baths. Service life could be longer depending on water conditions

FOR INFANT BATHING

The BATH 2000 is very effective for bathing babies in small tubs or basins (approximately 3 to 5 gallons). A babyıs delicate skin is greatly benefited by removing toxic chlorine. Follow these steps:

1. Fill your tub or basin with the bath water at your required temperature.

2. Place the BATH 2000 into the water and swirl the ball through the water for 2 to 3 minutes. If you need more hot water just swirl the BATH 2000 for a few more seconds.

3. Important. Remove the BATH 2000 from the tub or basin before placing the baby in the water. While completely safe, the BATH 2000 is not a tub toy.

4. Hang the BATH 2000 up to dry after using.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON HOT TUB AND SPA USE

The BATH 2000 may be used to remove chlorine from hot tubs and spas, but it may take longer or require two plastic balls because of the greater volume of water than a bathtub. Very Important. Once you have removed chlorine from a hot tub or spa, you must follow the hot tub or spa manufacturerıs instructions on sanitizing the tubs/spas between uses. If you fail to re-disinfect the tub/spa you could encourage unwanted bacteria or fungus growth.

HOW IS IT USED?

The BATH 2000 dechlorinates the water by placing it into the tub and pulling it through the water with the attached 12" cord for a few minutes. To accelerate dechlorination you may hang the BATH 2000 on the tub spout and let the incoming water agitate the BATH 2000.

The 12ı cord is also used to hang the ball on a hook or fixture to dry between uses. The BATH 2000 has a flat bottom so it can be placed on a surface without rolling. The unit should be kept clean as possible to maintain a long filter life. The BATH 2000 is not a toy and while it is completely safe and non-toxic, it should not be used as a child or infantıs toy. Please remove it from the bathtub before using the tub to avoid the possibility of stepping on the plastic ball. If you add more water to the tub while bathing you may swirl the BATH 2000 through the water for another minute or so to remove any new chlorine.

WHAT IS THE MEDIA USED TO DECHLORINATE AND TREAT THE WATER?

1. 1.5 oz. KDF Formula 73 Copper-Zinc filament.
2. 1 oz. Virgin American Crystalline Quartz.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE KDF FORMULA 73 FILAMENT?

KDF Formula 73 (F-73) is a specially processed alloy of 70% copper and 30% zinc. The filament is processed by special machinery which produces a fine, hair-like strand of brass only 60 to 80 micons in thickness, about the same as a human hair.

Each BATH 2000 contains 1 _ oz. of F-73 strands which if laid end to end would extend over 4000 feet. This provides the BATH 2000 with a great surface area which in turn accelerates the electro-chemical action of the F-73. The Rainshowır BATH 2000 is absolutely unique. There is nothing with which to compare it.

HOW DOES KDF FORMULA WORK IN REMOVING CHLORINE? As chlorinated water flows through the filament the dissimilar metals in KDF, (copper and zinc), create a galvanic or electrolytic reaction which causes the two chlorine ions to combine with a zinc ion to form a harmless zinc chloride (ZNCL2). KDF does not hold the chlorine. It changes the chlorine from an element into a harmless compound.

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW KDF F-73 WORKS IN REMOVING CHLORAMINES FROM THE BATH WATER.

Chlorine can combine with ammonia and nitrogen compounds to create chloramines. These chloramines smell bad and are body irritants. Chloramine smell is most often associated with the smell of indoor pools. But chloramines are also created by water treatment districts by adding ammonia to the water in order to disinfect water supplies and to comply with the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.

Treatment plant chloramines (CL2:NH3) also reduce chlorineıs ability to combine with organic matter which, when it occurs, can create a series of carcinogens called THMıs or Trihalomethanes.

Chloramines are relatively stable and cannot be removed by a shower filter without the use of chemicals because the flow rate is too fast. This is not regarded as a dermal problem because exposure time to chloramines in a shower is very short. But, this is not the case in a tub bath where the user can deep soak for 20 minutes or more. Rainshowır Mfg. Co.ıs research and work experience with KDF in filament covers more than 10 years. Based on that work we knew if the motive or driving power of the filament could be increased we might break or destabilize the chlorine-ammonia bond. Our custom-made KDF Formula 73 does just that. KDF allows us to break the connection between chlorine and ammonia, liberating the free chlorine and allowing it to combine with zinc in the F-73. This instantly converts the free chlorine into a harmless zinc chlorine salt (ZNCL2).

This very simple and safe use of scienceıs age old knowledge of dissimilar metals technology enables us to remove up to 100% of total chlorine at elevated bathing temperatures (105-110 degrees F) in about 4 to 5 minutes from the time the faucet is turned on.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF CRYSTALLINE QUARTZ?

Our specially washed and sun dried quartz crystals help to "energize" the water by reducing the waterıs surface tension. This allows for an increase in sudsing and lathering of soaps and shampoos. The water has a "lighter" feel, similar to the feeling of softened water.

Please check our web site www.rainshowrmfg.com for our in depth technical report on the use of electromagnetic crystal in our dechlorinating bath and shower filters.

ARE ANY MATERIALS USED IN THE BATH 2000 EITHER HARMFUL OR TOXIC?

No. KDF media is widely used in drinking water and water treatment systems. It also conforms to the U.S. Drinking Water Act (PL99-399 of 6/19/86).

Our crystalline quartz is pure American mined silicon dioxide (S1O2) specially washed and sun cured. It is chemically inert.

The BATH 2000 is completely American made including all components and raw materials.
